Heage Windmill in Derbyshire is the only six-sailed stone tower windmill in England. This Derbyshire attraction, a Grade II* listed building sited on a hill providing spectacular views towards the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, was restored to working order in 2002 and looks as splendid as when first built in 1797. Visitors can go on tours with guides normally in costume. There is also an Interpretation Centre and a shop where can buy flour that is milled here.
The windmill is open from April to October every weekend and Bank Holiday Monday, 11 am to 4 pm. The last tour is at 3.30 pm.
